lo4j2.xml in EAR
When I used log4j 1.x, I could put my log4j.xml in the <EarRoot>/META-INF
folder and it was found. I did try this with log4j 2.0.2 and the
configuration was not found.
I read this but it only talks about WARs. I don't have a WAR but an EAR
with EJB modules.
http://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/manual/webapp.html
So is this feature missing in 2.x? Or did I do something wrong?
Cheers,
Paul

Can you also try with 2.1?
Thank you,

No, it's just the API jar can't be found. This is obviously a configuration
issue because the module should be exposing the jar. I am investigating
what could be wrong right now.

Do you have a “caused by” on the NoClassDefFoundError?

Re: lo4j2.xml in EAR
Posted by Ralph Goers <ra...@dslextreme.com>.
There is a difference between a NoClassDefFoundError and a ClassNotFoundException. What class are you getting the NoClassDefFoundError on? A NoClassDefFoundError is usually caused by a) a ClassNotFoundExcpetion or b) an exception that occurs during static initialization of a class.
Can you provide the stack trace?

Right now my code cannot see the API classes; so I get a

Re: lo4j2.xml in EAR

The Log4j API is going to look for its implementation. It does that by looking for a property file using ClassLoader.getResources(). If that file cannot be located because it is in a different ClassLoader then you will have problems.
When you say it doesn’t work, what exactly is happening?

Re: lo4j2.xml in EAR

The first smart thing to do in Wildfly 8.1 is install a common instance of
log4j2. You do this by creating a module. Here are my steps:
1. Go to <WildFlyHome>/modules
2. Create folders org/apache/log4j2/main
3. Drop in the api jar.
4. Create a module.xml with this content:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<module xmlns="urn:jboss:module:1.3" name="org.apache.log4j2">
<resources>
<resource-root path="log4j-api-2.1.jar"/>
</resources>
</module>
PS: I could have also dropped in the "core" jar but I am being
conservative. Since I can't get anything to work, this is the minimal.
Then inside my ejb-jar project, I create myself a
META-INF/jboss-deployment-descriptor.xml file like this:
<jboss-deployment-structure xmlns="urn:jboss:deployment-structure:1.0">
<deployment>
<dependencies>
<module name="org.apache.log4j2" />
</dependencies>
</deployment>
</jboss-deployment-structure>
That should automatically map the jar into my module's classpath. I've done
this before but I am obviously missing something because it's not working.
If anyone can help by following these steps and figuring this out, I'd be
happy to hear someone's success story.
Cheers,
Paul

I'm trying but failing. I once created a module for MySQL's connector --
that's fine. But I am not succeeding creating a module for log4j2. Has
anyone here tried this?

I am not aware that we have implemented any specific support for EARs. That said, I am not sure we need to. I’ve also looked at the Log4j 1.x code and don’t see anything specific to supporting META-INF or EARs.
Log4j will load log4j2.xml from the classpath, so you should be able to do something like what is described at https://developer.jboss.org/wiki/HowToPutAnExternalFileInTheClasspath <https://developer.jboss.org/wiki/HowToPutAnExternalFileInTheClasspath>. I believe you can also place it in the /lib directory or whatever directory is defined in the library-directory element of the deployment descriptor. See http://javahowto.blogspot.com/2006/10/use-library-directory-in-javaee-5-apps.html <http://javahowto.blogspot.com/2006/10/use-library-directory-in-javaee-5-apps.html>.
What app server are you using?
